How many times have you left home only to find out that your smartphone was almost out of battery? Well i don't know about you all but it has happened to me more than once and although i remember a time when we didn't have cellular phones (and not a care in the world) now these little devices have become part of our daily lives (for good or bad) and so most of us can't afford to have them run out of battery while on the road. That's also the main reason as to why i started testing battery packs (external batteries) a while back and i have to say that they have saved me from lots of trouble. Today's review is about one such device and more specifically the Slimtalk 3200mAh External Battery by Anker.

As a result, Anker has now served over 1 million happy customers around the globe.

The Anker Slimtalk External Battery features a 3200mAh lithium-ion battery that can be recharged 500 times over and should be sufficient to fully recharge most smartphones up to 3 times. What really makes the Slimtalk unique however is the built-in micro-USB cable which allows you to charge most devices without carrying an extra cable around and the built-in flashlight which we all know can come in handy in numerous occasions. Of course a battery capacity of 3200mAh is not much and certainly not the highest out there since there are battery packs out there with capacities up to 4 times over but even so for most people 3200mAh should be more than enough. Time however to place it under our magnifying glass and see what the Slimtalk external battery has to offer.
